I hope this isn't representative of the work you plan to do for this project. If so, your experience will likely be negative again. #1 - You didn't answer the question correctly. #2 - asking for a definition of research, not necessarily an opinion. #3 - I doubt very seriously that your entire grade hinged on a moment in time when you laughed. Perhaps you should examine your work habits and effort and see if those are the areas that need improvement. A positive attitude will also go a long way toward making the experience more pleasant.
